The impression I got from the other "love to hate" thread was people really don't hate SS like they hate IStock/Getty

Hate is a strong word. Is there a stronger word then hate? I am not sure, English isn't my language. There should be some appropriate scale of words to accurately describe emotions. Would Charles Bronson say "They killed my family, and I hate them more than I hate ShutterStock"?

Right, that's why I used "dislike" instead of "hate" on my post.

Yeah, hate is a word that seem's to be used used way too much these days....the yuth of today either love something or HATE IT.

Personally, dislike is closer to the truth although I tend to use the word "Annoying", as in they irritate me at times and sometimes they even make decisions that I.... dislike but hate? nah....

Now Storyblocks are being really annoying of late, and they don't sell enough to do that so I am comfortable with making the business decision to remove my work (on 1st Aug). They don't sell enough to loose any sleep over it

edit, of course they could suddenly triple my earnings and they would become a lot less annoying..... possible mildly irritating.... but I doubt it
